About Parenting by Science
Parenting by Science turns psychology, neuroscience and behavioural science into practical strategies for raising healthy, resilient children — in plain English, one paper at a time.

What we do
Every video and page explains one real, published, peer-reviewed study: what the researchers did, what they found, what the study didn't prove, and one thing you can try tonight. The full reference and DOI are always on the page.
How we choose papers
A paper only makes the cut if it's verified and published — and if it yields a usable strategy a parent can actually try. Recent research (2020 onward) leads the launch series, with classic studies included when they're the foundation.
How we talk about evidence
Randomized trials get causal language (“made”, “improved”). Observational studies get honest language (“linked to”, “associated with”). Effect sizes are described as they are — including when they're small, and when a study found nothing.

A note on advice
This site explains studies for general information — it isn't medical or parenting advice for your specific child. For questions about your own child's health, sleep safety or development, talk to your child's clinician and follow current official guidance.
